The REnaissance Project part 3

So what is the REnaissance Project?

I. Philisophical Framework (in 3 parts)

(part 1 of 3)
A Transitional Movement: a re-structuring of priorities
(part 2 of 3) A Revival of Classical Influence: a re-discovery of ancient inspiration

(part 3 of 3)
A Flowering of the Arts and Literature: a re-birth of creativity

During the Renaissance there was an explosion of creativity and beauty which brought glory to the ultimate Author of creativity and beauty. This was not the first time in human history when such a movement took place. We have seen how in God’s creative act in Genesis 1 that he set the paradigm for creating and highlighting beauty. We also saw from Exodus 31 and in David’s serving as a poet, a songwriter and a musician how creativity flourished among God’s people.


As we look at the Bible itself we see varied genres of literature displayed highlighting the diversity and creativity even within specific areas of the Arts. We witness everything from History to Poetry and music to Prophecy. We see the creative use of language as the author’s own personalities and artistic gifts are used and even highlighted by the Holy Spirit.


The Renaissance Project also desires to assist, encourage, and participate in yet another God inspired explosion of creativity and beauty which brings glory to the God of all creation.
